the biggest mansion i've ever made in the sims

[@iriaalonsoacuna]

You know sometimes when Kayla talks about her gameplay of her let's plays I think she would be really good at writing murder mystery novels

[@naomi.j.m.]

So true though lol They’d be the most chaotic books ever

[@blueblack3591]

Oh that would be cool

[@ultrasims0]

Yessssssss

[@sybrenkruijf8570]

She does that in her free time

[@NarnianWizard]

In my black widow challenge my sim married nancy landgraab who was, unbeknownst to me, pregnant with geoffrey’s child so it started this fun little storyline of the black widow sim bringing this unwanted stepchild from house to house as she married new spouses and hiring nannies all the time to take care of the kid. It also gave the perfect end to the challenge since the kid will age up into a teen right around the time the tenth spouse dies so I’m planning to transition straight into a runaway teen challenge as if she finds out her stepmother is a murderer and leaves for good. This game is so unhinged

[@anju-eve-ren2667]

Thank you and Thank´s Simsie for my next gameplay idea😚

[@real_yt_addict]

omg I love thissss

[@lunarfaeby]

I like to use the vanities for my teenage sims. The awkward EA makeup matches what I think us as teens (myself especially lmao) ended up looking like when we tried make up for the first time, it sure is a learning process and it's hilarious😅

[@fiobt]

YES. I'll even put my teens in something that almost resembles the random townie outfits because i know thats how i looked leaving the house too 🤦🏻

[@jovanarosic3606]

Asymmetrical eyebrows should be a thing in the sims 😂😂

[@gloomyscribbles]

​@@jovanarosic3606 that and asymmetrical eyeliner

Johnny Zest is always living in my mind rent free, I set him up with a happy life in every single one of my saves 😂 and Cassandra Goth

[@jadehunter2924]

I always delete him, I can’t stand him I don’t know why😭😭 (maybe I’m a landgraab?)

[@Sable1991]

my default save I had him get rich and kill the landgraab parents through anger so he is the only Langraab left since the son randomly died later. I dont even know how he died but also didnt really care so meh.

[@DoveJS]

@@jadehunter2924 Maybe you just need to take him into CAS and then spruce up his house? But if you still hate him, it's okay. Sims players aren't a monolith and sometimes we can't explain why we feel a certain way about a given character.

[@ReximillionPegasus]

I wasn't sure who mine was, but reading your comment, I think mine are also Johnny Zest and Cassandra Goth

[@taykeway]

Sameee!

[@discogoblin]

I constantly think about Johnny Zest. I always give him a “hippy Hollywood” aesthetic, renovate his trailer, and make him the comedy and eco-conscious king that I know deep in my soul that he is. Then when the Landgraabs die, he gets to inherit their wealth, but because he’s a certified Good Lad, he donates it to charity. I have a very normal attachment to this polygonal twunk.

[@adriannagregory1897]

Omg same! I think of him always lol

[@Longitudelineloser]

Mother is murder- I mean mothering

[@TheShadowForce666]

26:47 The Goths live absolutley rent free in my mind. Their lore is extensive, and their aesthetic is on point for my tastes

[@peanut7920]

12:19 Gronk??? Really Kayla youre gonna disrespect the best himbo of all time? Kronk deserves to have his name said right!😂

[@sierrarobinson2316]

The sims i think about constantly are bob and eliza pancakes. I watched Dan and Phil play the sims as the first sims gameplay i ever saw (eventually leading to me watching this channel lol) and they lived across from the pancakes. The chaos they sowed made me so conscious of them that im constantly like "i wonder what theyre up to" or "i hope theyre well" lol

[@nicolekent9518]

I saw bob and Eliza and knew exactly where this was going 😂

[@jessicac8090]

The eliza clone era was something else I love their sims series 😂

[@julius_pepperwood]

So fun! I used to work there

[@shimpuri]

just realized i watched lilsimsie back when she was doing the original black widow challenge and didn’t even know ive been a fan this long lol

[@annatarskeyboard]

there's a couple of townies who stay over in my mind fairly often, but the no. #1 resident of it is Guidry from Paranormal. I want to write biographies about him. he intrigues me. he is everything. I literally begun a legacy challenge where he's the great great grandfather of my legacy founder and they all have to live in Duplantier Dwelling. 10/10 no notes, thank you sims team for giving us Guidry (and by extension Temperance. What is wrong with her, I love her too)

[@ananas0799]

I LOVE GUIDRY! I always get him to marry my sim when I play in a haunted house.

[@ttfn1412]

i don’t think i can relate to ur book taste based on the ones u mentioned but man if i don’t want to hear u talk about books more. it would be so fun. i am just a nosy bookworm who wants to know other people’s literary taste 😞

[@RoseBaggins]

Me too!!

[@chere100]

I like BL, generally hate harems, and have a growing aversion to xianxia as a genre. Too much creative bankruptcy. It's not like there's never any interesting ones, though. I remember liking Cultivation Chat Group, but I know I haven't finished it (over 3000 chapters!). The Legendary Master's Wife is a 5/5, 10 out of 10, would read again (and I have, lol).

[@Eltyanistah]

This is the DREAM Goth family manor!! I want that in my save, this is what they deserve! Such rich aristocratic family vibes

[@marcellamaragno]

Omg, I have a super famous vampire celebrity in my game called Elvira Van Pyre and this manor is EXACTLY what I needed for her, ily Kayla

[@ashmcewen5451]

12:18 not gronk 😂 i know who you mean, but his name is kronk. which is an equally ridiculous name now that i think about it.

I don't understand why but Don Lothario. I have married him several times. Right now he is currently having an affair with his son's pregnant wife. This is the only son he raised he had 4 other kids with Emelia Ernest. I also am a little obsessed with Bella and Mortimer Goth.

[@notaspookygal]

I would love to see a renovation of Judith's house!!! After all, anything you do to that house will be a MASSIVE improvement to whatever the heck EA attempted to do haha.

[@adrienhorrell5612]

she's already done like 2 lol

[@rootb77]

simsie, if you want to buy books next time youre in london I reccomend trying to go to Baggins Bookshop in Rochester (about a 30-min train journey away from central london). It's the biggest second-hand bookshop in England, and it's got an insanely cool 'attic' vibe to the whole place. not good for new releases but great for hidden gems.

[@incogtiino]

Saving this before my move to London! Thank you!! 🙏

[@msawyer983]

Kayla, idk if you’ll read this, but I wanted to say I had a hard day and I just cried over it, and now watching your fun sims video is just helping so much to lighten the weight of everything. I’ve played sims 4 since it came out but no one I know plays it! So I started watching your videos a few years ago when I was in college in 2020. I wanted to say thanks for adding so much to our little community and bringing some light and positivity to the world when we need it. I definitely needed it today ☺️

[@helenahuybrighs2715]

I'm happy your day has been going better! ❤ hope you're week continues to be great !

[@TeresaTheMagician1111]

I am just going to say it! I appreciate your content. A lot of simmers are going nuts in InZoi but coming to your channel I still see great Sims 4 magic. Thank you from a frequent simmer. I wanted to start my SimChannel and been a little scared!

[@AnnetteBestwick]

Agnes Crumplebottom is my townie that I have often in my mind, I have varies ones in my game. The original flower stall owner and about ten others that keep popping up, I have made a few of them younger in different careers, even aged one down into a toddler, child, teen and young adult. They all live together in one household which I find funny and play them all when I am having a bad day with my anxious issues day.

I think they should make it an option to select for each table as to what kind of table it is. Like how sinks can be bathroom and kitchen or both, you could make it a food table or a game table and then any game could be a game table and you wouldn't have to worry about sims eating at it

[@LUVSTARSTRUCKTHEATRE]

hi simsie! 1. i found your channel through the black widow challenge so going back was SO fun 2. i’m starting my own black widow challenge rn but instead of only focusing on them being rich, i’m also making sure they’re morally corrupt, bc my black widow is a green fiend with a vendetta 😂 💚💚💚

[@ayaneagano6059]

It’s crazy that I’m seeing your biggest build, it’s a whopping wonderful 45 minutes, and all at 9PM-I’m crazy early to this video. Say _hola_ if you’re watching from Spain, too! 😄🙌

I love your London travel story lol. Books, concert, family time, no stressful hotel stuff? Absolutely living the dream 😂 good on ya, girl ♡

[@jesshess5727]

I love Kyle, he’s my sims husband in my save. She had the serial romantic goal so she had to date people. Kyle invited himself over and then eventually they became best friends and then roommates. She kept bringing people home and every time he would get mad / leave. One night after a house party they hosted together, they woohooed. She was dating a few people when Kyle autonomously asked her to be his girlfriend…she said yes! (This was before boundaries), she had to date like two more people so they cooled off their relationship, but stayed roommates. He got so upset when she was dating other people, and always ended up wherever she was on a date with someone. She broke up w the last guy and Kyle autonomously asked her on a date. It went insanely well and though I somewhat worry she totally traumatized him, they’ve got a massive home and 4 kids…so I guess it worked out.

[@anttirytkonen11]

For me, that townie is Marcus Flex. I use Wicked Whims and he... um, he would have flown from flower to flower and had new babies all the time had I not made changes in CAS and in the settings (incl. MCCC). While I managed to stop it, I just can't help thinking when I spot him that if he has obeyed. 😅

[@AlexLopez0506]

So like, I've known that the black widow challenge was a thing for years now and I knew the basic was "marry rich, kill spouse, move on", but like until you explained it I never really thought of it but this is literally just how I played the Sims when I was a kid. Neat.

[@elliels]

this is crazy and unrelated but the thumbnail originally made me think of the sims 3 goth manor honestly wouldn’t hate to see a rebuild/reno of it in ts4 hehe 🤨

[@heidiwhite2880]

Wow it's probably you best Villa you have ever built. So much space I haven't seen in your buildings. It's really beautiful 🤩

[@avaschaefer6656]

This build is gorgeous, unhinged, and - with the addition of the attic - hilarious. Congrats, Kayak, you've hit the holy trinity of sims builds!

[@Reno3738]

I loved your lets play of the black widow challenge! Although i cant believe that was in 2017 - ive been subscribed since 30k subs - i remember the 50k sub special and when the twitch streams started. I thought that was only a few years ago but now im realizing its been a lot of years since that stuff happened!

[@LaraEmily]

I have no idea why, but in every save, I seem to constantly run into Summer Holiday - and she does have an iconic name - so she lives in my head rent free

[@mads5033]

I can’t believe you and Dan have been married for 3 years !!! Damn time is weird

I was just watching your Dream Home Decorator starter house and I was like, "I wish Kayla would make a monster big mansion" and here we are lol. Thank you!!

[@Rebellum1]

I've only recently begun watching sims videos while on my latest sims binge, and man I REALLY like you. You're just so nice and friendly! This doesn't feel like a youtuber talking to me, watching this video feels like going out to coffee with a friend to talk about a game we both play. :)

[@chrissykoin]

You’re so cute when you talk about your husband, I’m so glad you found your person you look so happy!! Also Vlad lives rent free in my mind like why is he ALWAYS there at your door!!? 😂

[@katacodex]

Amen about the UK book covers! I also got the uk versions of a studying in drowning and once upon a broken heart. They are just WAY better! Blackwells is my go to for getting UK editions for anyone that wants them but isn’t going to the UK anytime soon.

[@spiderclown]

Love hearing Black Widow challenge talk! I was OBSESSED with Phoebe and Tag 💞

[@Simtimistic]

I was patiently waiting for this after seeing the build on the gallery

[@noytc]

I'm literally obsessed with Joaquin Le Chien. I get so excited whenever he pops up, like, drop everything I'm doing and make my sim go talk to him- and then Lou and Caleb... for obvious reasons...

[@Jellyfish4595]

Thank you so much Kayla for making these videos so chill and relaxed. I’ve been having really bad anxiety and can’t sleep but this video is helping me calm down. I really appreciate it 💗💗💗

[@ilonavestola6279]

KAYLA KAYLA KAYLA! I didn't know that you have such a good book taste. I have read all the Books you talked about and having a home library with a sliding ladder is one of my biggest dreams. I was literally banging my hand to my bed when I heard you talk about books. I have never felt so damn seen❤❤❤

[@noonieeecorn]

thank you for the vid Kayla! i am having a hard time w studies lately and your vids always makes me feel relaxed 🫶❤️

[@kylaevelyn1800]

Townies that live rent free: Victor Feng (I have "saved" him from his marriage multiple times), Bella Goth (always WANT to marry her, but her marriage actually seems happy so I settle for friendship), and Johnny Zest (I always re-ad him into the Landgraab family tree with MCCC then have an adorable romance or friendship with him)

[@FlowerCatEnthusiast]

On the question about townies- for me, it'd have to be Angela Pleasant. My current sim is dating her and she's wonderful!

[@JewelzPlay]

The townie who's always on my mind would probably be Bella Goth. She's the only townie I've had the most interaction with since my sim married one of her daughters. Not Cassandra, this daughter was after that Bella and Mortimer had. Bella was a grandma to my sim's kids!❤

[@TiffanyScrog]

Bella Goth. 1,000,000% I’ve played since Sims 1 and my love for her has never waivered 😂.

[@kait127]

mine is don lothario. i always avoided him just bcs i got bad vibes (then learned his shady behavior and REALLY avoided him). then i started a new save with the wonderful whims mod and my sim was attracted to him so i let them have a relationship. the one and only time they woohoo’d, he gave my sim crabs. never talking to that man again.

[@wnyminty9057]

You know, I kinda feel the Goth deserve to live in this house

[@flannelfishguy]

I understand why Kayla might think her original Black Widow Challenge videos are "embarrassing" since they're several years old now, but as someone who has been watching her videos ever since that series, I think they're wonderful still!! I've actually been watching some old speed build videos and old let's play series (my favorites are the wheel spin challenges!) as a source of comfort during a lot of life stress. They're all so nice and I love watching them :) Changing and growing as a person and improving your content over time is not embarrassing at all!!

[@lizzmoore9387]

I watch all your videos. Have you ever considered embracing the lighting? Many houses have specific windows for where the sun is. North South, etc. You should try working with the lighting sometimes because ceiling pucks aren't everything, and moody lighting is a vibe. Ditch the symmetry occasionally, too? Walls uneven are more fun

[@kawaiijohn]

i love listening to your enthusiasm for everything in life- its why i make sure to watch every build video

[@saramariegarcia7024]

For me its Kyle Kyleson and Morgyn Ember. kyle is just Iconic to me. I married morgyn in a save forever ago and learned about their pretty much canon transness and theyve lived rent free in my mind ever since. I just love them.

[@posymay]

Next time you’re in London, definitely check out the Fitzrovia Waterstones bookshop. It’s in a beautiful old building next to a square

[@ShadoeLandman]

I have one with a butler suite, a ballroom with stage big enough for dj, piano, and microphone, a greenhouse, 6 big bedroom suites, formal parlor, double kitchen, formal dining room and I can't remember what else. It tends to take me like a week to build a mansion, and that's without over-decoration. The Baily-Moons' isn't quite as big, but it has two pools, a dance hall, statuary garden, playground, bowling alley, marble basketball court (lol) and lots of other goodies suitable for a family that wants to have top-tier parties of the non-stuffy kind and still raise a family. And a couple of the Windenburg families now have actual castles. One fully walled with moat, guard towers, and gatehouse. But I can't build big for long before I need a break, then I'm just throwing up tiny homes or modern homes that don't take long.

[@LeaNuggiesArt]

I'm 100% with you on books, I'm moving this weekend and I have 5 large boxes filled with books and no bookshelves in the new place.

omg i'm neither from the uk or the us, i'm from brazil and I waited until the american version of once upon a broken heart to go on sale even though the uk one was always on sale and the brazilian one is a version of the uk one, but I just loooove the US cover. its one of my favorite covers that I own, its the only one in my bookshelf that is facing forward so i can keep looking at it. also our book tastes are so similar! i'd love for you to talk more about the books you read!

[@daisythegrumpyoldman]

I've been to England three summers in a row, and I am slightly ashamed to say that I've brought home 10+ books each year... We had to buy a new backpack to bring them onto the plane and back home... All this to say DO NOT feel bad for buying ten, because you are not alone haha! Also, when I went a few months ago to see Taylor, I ALSO bought A Study in Drowning because the cover was pretty (and the SPRAYED EDGES!) so I got really excited when you mentioned it!

[@sandy5791]

Bought a changing table for my RL kiddo and we hardly ever used it. You just change wherever is easiest. 😆 So haha, your commentary for the Sims… spot on!

[@remmytherat]

Mine is Cassandra Goth, no doubt😭Which is such a basic answer but it's true! Whenever my sim is poly or perhaps even just a cheater, I find a way to get on with her. I'm obsessed obsessed.

[@Kosmo_deus]

I would easily play with this house with or without an official challenge. Already getting story ideas for it
